Business: Oil & Gas Fuction/Domain: Mining Position Description
As a Geologist working on the Unconventional Program (primarily – Tar sands) you will be able to provide input into regional evaluation, basin analysis and prospect identification in frontier basins, prospect generation and appraisal for unconventional resources (tar sands, shale gas and liquids and tight gas) and have the ability to transform an unconventional resource into an economic asset.
You will therefore have experience in completing geological interpretations in a variety of structural and stratigraphic regimes incorporating a variety of geophysical and geological data.
You will be able to provide detailed depositional models within a regional sequence stratigraphic framework.
You will have the experience to enable you to actively participate in the coring/well planning process to optimize locations using a variety of geological and geophysical data.
You will have the ability to provide input into the generation of both appraisal plans and field development plans for resource assessment and development optimization.
The ability to work on a multidisciplinary team is a key asset.
